Researchers will monitor safety and treatment effects closely, following all procedures outlined in the master protocol. The overall duration of participant involvement and additional assessments are determined by the master protocol guidelines for this comprehensive evaluation.

Researchers are evaluating AZD0780, an oral PCSK9 inhibitor, in a phase 3, randomized, placebo-controlled study to see if it can reduce the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE-PLUS) in adults with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) or those at high risk for a first ASCVD event. The study compares AZD0780 to a placebo and monitors participants from randomization until the primary analysis censoring date, followed by a final study closure visit. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either oral AZD0780 or an oral placebo once daily. The treatment period lasts until the primary analysis censoring date, after which a study closure visit will occur. The study is event-driven and designed to assess the time to the first major cardiovascular event during treatment. During the study, participants will be closely monitored with various assessments to evaluate cardiovascular outcomes and safety over approximately 54 months. Researchers will track the time to first event of any component of MACE-PLUS and collect data to assess the effect of AZD0780 compared to placebo. The study includes regular visits and evaluations to ensure participant safety and adherence to treatment.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness and safety of brenipatide compared to a placebo in reducing the chance of relapse to cigarette smoking in adults who have recently quit. This is a Phase 2, multicenter, randomized, double-blind study focused on adults aged 18 to 75 who want to maintain abstinence from smoking. The study aims to measure continuous abstinence confirmed by carbon monoxide levels from week 1 through week 24. Participants will receive either brenipatide or placebo administered subcutaneously during a 24-week treatment period. The study includes a 2-week screening phase before treatment begins and an 8-week safety follow-up after treatment ends. Treatment involves self-injection of the study drug or placebo, and participants are expected to attend up to 17 study visits throughout the approximately 34-week study duration.
